Radha Kunda and Krishna Kunda are two natural water reservoirs, amongst one thousand such water bodies, located in the holy region of Braja. The two ponds are held sacred in the Vaishnava tradition, especially in the tradition of the Gaudiya sect. An age-old saga about the excavation of these ponds by Radha and Krishna as an act of repentance for accidental cow slaughter is quite interesting. The narrative is relevant even today as it goes on to settle the role of Dharma in handling ‘victimless crimes’ and ‘ecological sustainability.’
